1Password 8 Printing

...continuation from above. Seeing your request for use case: Store SIM Card & other data in secure note (for example) need a collegue to do a smart phone migration for another collegue. Neither of them have access to 1password. I will print the secure note, now they can get on with the migration without me. These are trusted colleagues, they will shred or hand back the secure note after use. 2nd use case: in case of some catastrophic problem, with internet, or with 1password, it is policy to periodically create a backup paper copy of our sensitive data which is kept outside the business premises in a safe.

Just wanted to print a secure note, at work. I really need this option. Use it all the time. If I want to print my data that is for me to decide. Please, please put back this useful missing feature. FYI normally I am just printing an individual item. Often secure notes, but need the ability to print anything.

Thank you for your comments! Can you tell me a little more about how you (or your clients) are using the printing feature? I would be happy to pass along your use cases to our product team. 🙂

Yes, we need this for our clients. We can't migrate them from 1PW7 without this since they rely on printouts of their passwords...

Thank you for posting details about your use case for a print feature. I've added your comments to the tracking item open for the feature request so that our developers are aware.

I also would like to have back the ability of printing passwords. There is information that is just too important to lose and a hard copy is better than fulfilling a lot of conditions like remembering my 1 password, having electricity, internet access, a device where I can open 1Password, etc. Having the ability to print was how I convinced my spouse (not tech savvy at all) to try 1Password in the beginning, and it also lets me feel that the information can pass the test of time and changing technologies.

Thank you for taking the time to describe how the ability to print is useful to you and your clients. I've forwarded your feedback to our product team so that they're aware and can consider incorporating the feature into 1Password 8 in the future.

You mentioned that your clients are concerned about losing access to 1Password and I do have two suggestions that you might be able to pass along:

1. Suggest that your clients download and print their Emergency Kit. Once the Emergency Kit is printed they can write down their account password onto the Kit and then store it somewhere secure like a personal safe.
2. Suggest that your clients use 1Password Families together with a trusted family member. They can make that family member a family organizer who will have the ability to recover their account in case they forget their account password: About 1Password Families

I also like to save out my passwords every 6 months in the very unlikely occurrence that the server or a malicious actor wipes my data -- a client of mine lost their LastPass data that way so it's personally of concern.

Would an encrypted local backup be something that would be useful for you? Let me know and I can let our developers know. 😊

I have many elderly clients who feel much more secure having a physical hard-copy of the passwords stored somewhere safe. It's not uncommon for them to forget their master password or to forget how to get back into 1Password periodically. I also like to save out my passwords every 6 months in the very unlikely occurrence that the server or a malicious actor wipes my data -- a client of mine lost their LastPass data that way so it's personally of concern.
For novices, even if they choose to never print out the passwords, the idea that the feature exists helps bring some calm when I suggest they start learning and using 1Password.

The printing feature on 7 was so fantastic as you could choose to print 2 pages per page and double sided to get things out in a visually appealing and simple to read method -- kudos to the devs who put together the print feature in the past.

I'll stick with version 7 and advise those clients of mine who need the feature to stay on version 7 until 8 has it.
Much appreciated for your work and I really hope the feature returns!

+1 for this
